Here’s the full episode of my appearance on Finding Bigfoot when the team came to investigate Caddo Lake on the border of Texas and Louisiana. (Also where Creature From Black Lake was filmed back in the 70s.)

Just announced at the 3rd Annual Boggy Creek Festival is the next film in the Small Town Monsters, cryptid-documentary series. The film is titled Boggy Creek Monster and will focus on the history of sightings in and around the community of Fouke, Arkansas that inspired the film, Legend of Boggy Creek. Boggy Creek Monster is a Small Town Monsters production in association with cryptid researcher, author, musician, journalist, and television personality, Lyle Blackburn.

In just a few days (tomorrow), Point Pleasant’s population will nearly double with visitors from across the country and around the world arriving for the 14th annual Mothman Festival.

I’m delighted to announce that my latest book, A Manifestation of Monsters: Examining the (Un)Usual Subjects, is now in print, published by Anomalist Books. It contains a superb foreword by my good friend and fellow cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard, and its front cover is sumptuously illustrated with a truly spectacular cryptozoological painting by hugely-talented artist Michael J. Smith that directly inspired me to write this book.

In this episode Mark and Seth talk about Bigfoots that lurk in the marshy regions of North America. But first they read a couple letters from YOU, the listener. After answering some listener questions they dive into tales of the Honey Island Creature, and more. Mostly, this is Seth trying to remember a story that he heard about once… Enjoy!

This week Mark and Seth dig into some listener comments and questions. Field biologist evidence-discovery (and lack thereof), three toed tracks, and most of all, eyewitness testimony. All of these topics and more are discussed in this episode.

Lake Clinch in Polk County has a long history of a monster in its depths. In the 1928 book, “A History of Polk County,” M.F. Hetherington documents tales of a huge creature in Lake Clinch. “The Indians many years ago insisted there was an immense serpent in this lake,” Hetherington wrote. “In 1907 residents of Frostproof declared they had seen the monster, and that it must be 30 feet long.”
